I bounced around quite a bit when I was younger, both residentially and musically. My earliest memories are the BeeGees from ex pat life in Saudi Arabia. First song I ever bough was Uptown Girl by Billy Joel then wasn't really that into music until a friend introduced me to Blues and we bought harmonicas.
The soundtrack to my early youth (16,17,18) was undoubtedly Happy Mondays - Pills n Thrills and Bellyaches. Played pretty much non stop over 2 years as we all learnt to drive and that led to Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, Wonder Stuff etc
Later years and Oasis took over and I'm fucking buzzing this morning.
Your Formative Years Tune

All the money you made will never buy back your soul
Some pre 2000 Records that changed things for me from the off, as new genres started:
Inflammable Material
Unknown Pleasures
You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever
The Smiths
The Colour of spring
Psychocandy
It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
Blue Bell Knoll
Loveless
Dummy
Blowout Comb
XO
Geez once you get started. It’s fun revisiting Peels Festive 50 any time.

It's a very good question
Not sure I could isolate one particular band or song - growing up I have, at various points, been utterly infatuated with:
Suede
Blur
The Wonderstuff (christ, that hasn't aged well)
Carter USM
Nirvana
De La Soul
The Cure
Depeche Mode, Yazoo and much of what Vince Clarke has done in general
Stone Roses
Joy Division/New Order
On that last one, seems a good place to post this:

https://www.theguardian.com/music/artic ... urtis-bandMacclesfield will hold its first ever Joy Division Day next month, to celebrate the town’s links to the band.
The lead singer Ian Curtis grew up in the Cheshire town, and after his death in 1980 aged 23 his ashes were buried in Macclesfield cemetery.
Forgot the Stone Roses debut: that really did kickstart a movement. Still a wonderfully cohesive lp too.inactionman wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2024 4:29 pm It's a very good question

https://www.theguardian.com/music/artic ... -diagnosisThe Cure’s Roger O’Donnell reveals ‘rare and aggressive’ blood cancer diagnosis
Band’s keyboardist says he initially ignored symptoms until his ‘devastating’ lymphoma diagnosis, but ‘the prognosis is amazing’
He sounds very positive, so fingers crossed. He also wrote:
Abso-bloody-lutely.Cancer CAN be beaten but if you are diagnosed early enough you stand a way better chance, so all I have to say is go GET TESTED, if you have the faintest thought you may have symptoms go and get checked out.
